ACCOMMODATION
We would appreciate your cabin being left in a clean and tidy condition. It is equipped with cooking facilities and it is your responsibility to wash all dishes and cooking equipment prior to departure. Your rubbish is also to be put out in the large bin outside your cabin.
If you require housekeepers to clean your dishes this is available at an extra cleaning charge ($30). If the dishes are left dirty on your departure we will presume you are requesting this service and charge accordingly.
All our cabins are fully self-contained which means we don’t service your cabin daily. For stays longer than a week we will organise for a change of linen midway through your stay. If you require fresh linen please see reception, extra linen charges may apply.
Your cabin is supplied with milk, tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, and biscuits to get you started with your stay. Your bathroom has also been stocked with complementary Soap, Shampoo and Conditioner.

INSECTS
Insects are part of the Tropical North and therefore we advise you to keep all screens closed and avoid leaving any food on the benches.
Small sugar ants are common in the tropics and can be especially prevalent just before heavy rain is expected. Assist us in controlling ants by ensuring that kitchen benches are free of uncovered food and ensure all food containers are well sealed. If you find ants in your cabin please advise Reception.

Most cabins require the key tags to be placed in the key receptor located either next to the door or above the bench. These tags activate power to air conditioners, ceiling fans and TVs.
